TO WASHINGTON TOR TAYLOR.
Two Federal Officers Leave to Ask for
(Recognition.
LOUISVILLE. Ky., March 19—The
two governors of Kentucky were en
tertained in this city today. Messrs.
Taylor and Beckham both insisted
that ihey had come to Louisville on
purely personal business and that their
visits had no political significance.
They spent the day quietly, though
l»oth received numerous calls from
their political and personal friends.
Governor Taylor and his associates
among the republican party leaders
are very dose-mouthed as to the na
ture of the mission on which Surveyor
of the Fort C. M. Barnett and Collector
of Internal Revenue Sapp left for
Washington last night after their con
f» rent e w ith Tav lor. but there is little
doubt it has to do with the national
administration's recognition of the
state officers. The latter do not con
teal their purposes to hold on to their
positions until the United States su
preme court uas passed upon the ques
tion of their right to hold them.
They do not intend to surrender the
state buildings and records after a de
i ision by the state court of appeals, if
that court should decide against them.
'I here has been some talk that the
d( mocratio officers may try to exercise
their functions in earnest in case they
are upheld by the court of appeals,
which they regard as the court of last
resort in their cases and it is believed
the republicans wish to know the feel
ing of the national leaders of their
party toward their policy.
The governorship case is still in the
* ircuit court of this county. Judge
Field is expet ted to dispose of it this
w«el;. when it will be taken to the
court of appeals A week or two more
will tie consumed by the proceedings
U fore that court.
Governors Taylor and Beckham will
return to Frankfort tomorrow.
FAULTING THt LRut STATE.
Uur* i» KiicaciiiK all the Time of ltol»

LONDON. March 19.—T1 e peaceful
tonquest of the Orange Free State
> »(.sitso evenly that it is now
i>< lieved there will he little or no
t ghting until Lord Roberts reaches the
Vaal fixer. How scon he intends t >
;• ar* out with this objective is not
: »-t hinted at. but the pacification of
; h« Fret* Staters seems noxv engaging
a>l his attention. When the move
< oines it will doubtless be aceorn
vl'shcd with the secrecy and swiftness
x.hich have characterized all the Brit
ish advances since Lord Roberts as
. ''Tried command.
In the meanwhile the fate of Mafe
i in? remains unknown.
The revolt of he Cape Dutch in the
l ithcast seems to have had its back
1 re ken and it is likely General Kitch
< m*r w ill soon resume his place besidv
his chief.
The lull that lets the British troops
n Natal and the Free State recuper
. to brings no rest to the engineers and
i ausport service. Girourd, the young
Canadian officer, who rules supreme
over the railroads, is now putting his
system to the most severe test, in an
t udeavor to pour supplies front ('ape
town to Bloemfontein.
Commandant Oliver. af*er leaving
l-ttrghersdorp- went to Rouxville,
' here he is now reported to be with
only a small force.
Dr. Loyds, the diplomatic agent of
tie Transvaal, has disappeared from
Brussels. According to a Globe spe
cial he is believed to have come to
Ixmdon. but nothing is known hero
about his arrival.
It seems scarcely likely that h«:
would jump into the lion's mouth and
the energetic Boer representative is
more likely to be sono heard of ai
one of the other European capitals.
TO LAY TOOLS DOWN.
On*- Hundred TIiou.kimI Matklnint* to lie

CHICAGO. March 19— After the
conference between the representatives
oi the International Association of
Machinists ar.d the administrative
council of the National .Metal Trades’
association ended at 1:30 o'clock this
morning. President O'Connell of the
union declared that strikes would be
called immediately in all parts of the
l nite<l States and Canada. Such
strike's would involve 100,000 men and
cause to be- shut down for an indefinite
1* riod plants having an aggregate
capacity of millions of dollars daily.
H lirrli'r AfT:«ir I* Mixed.
WASHINGTON, March 19.—It is evi
dent that an effort is being made by
sc me of tiie administration offic ials to
induce Genera) Wheeler to withdraw
hi" request for immediate action upon
his resignation. It is intimated that
this effort is attributable solely to an
interest in the personal welfare of the
general.
In this connection it is recalled that
the president has had it in mind to
rsk congress for special legislation
empowering him to retire General
Wheeler, General Lee and another
... gadier general of volunteers, with
The rank of brigadier general in th"*

Steps in that direction have already
I. en taken. The Topeka Commercial
•*t»b has presented the matter to the
exc ;:tive council of th“ state and the
latter will issue a call for the organ
ization of a committee to promote
i he enterprise. The committee will be
composed of one member from each
county in the state.
Dewey Taking Trip South.
WASHINGTON. March 19.—Admiral
and Mrs. Dewey left here tonight feu
s trip south. They expect to visit
Savan. ah. Mocan. St. Augustin?, Jack
sonville and Palm Peach. The ad
miral and Mrs. Dewey probably will
not return to the city until the lat
ter part of next month, at which time
it is said they will sail for Europe,
visiting the exposition some time dur
ing the summer. Mrs. Dewey has
I een made c hairman of the battleship
committee in aid of the children’s Eas

asylum.
Puerto Kiro in the Senate.
WASHINGTON, March 19—It looks
as though the week in the senate
would be spent largely in waiting upon
the special republican caucus commit
tee appointed to harmonize the party
on the proposed Puerto Rico legisla
tion. The caucus on the tariff will be
gin work today. The Puerto Rico go 7
c rnmental bill w'ill continue to hold
its place on the senate calendar as the
unfinished business and some desultory
speeches doubtless will be made upon
it. but it will not be pressed as it
would be if there was hope of passing
it soon

tiou of Laying Down Their Arms.
LONDON, March 17—With the rail
way communication to the Cape >•*
tact, Lord Roberts will in a very f< "
days be in a position to begin the ad
vance on Pretoria. His deep politna*
intuition, combined with his bold stiat
egy, is having the result desired in t
southern sections of the Orange l
Ftate, which are rapidly calming down
Mafeking is now the only point fot
anxiety. and as it is known that a fone
has left Kimberley its relief may
announced before many days pass. 1 he
t fflcacy of’ the relieving column
heightened by the fact that it is parti*
composed of regulars.
In the lobbies of parliament Iasi
evening it was rumored that Lord Ron
erts is about to issue a proclamation
announcing that the former system ot
government in the Orange Free Stat*
i< abolished and promising the Free
Staters who immediately surrendered
due consideration.
It is understood that all the conn
nental powers, with one exception, un
compromisingly refused to intervene
The exception was Russia, whose re
ply was couched in less firm language
although, like the others, she decline ’
to interfere. It is said the pope aL >
v as appealed to. but he declined to e. >
any thing beyond writing a letter to
the queen, appealing to her to st >p the
further effusion of blood. Dr. Leyds
Efforts with King Leopold were qu:: *
futile.

Johannesburg is still discussed here,

The latest development of the sur

of forty cars, and all crammed with

Lord Roberts* success in handling

interest the military situation. It
believed here that the commander-in

but Great Britain is q^ite content t

o' the people of Bloemfontein and per

1 ord Roberts made a quaint speech ■
the Guards at Bloemfontein today,
when, in his first congratulatory words
he expressed pride, in their splendid
march of thirty-eight miles in twenty
eight hours, and gave ample assuran
of his ultimate design.
"Through a small mistake." sail
Lord Roberts, "I have not been ab
to march into Bloemfontein at th
head of the brigade, as I intended. I
promise you. however', that I will lea;
you into Pretoria."
TREASURY HARD AT WORK.
ruuding the Ohl Fong Term Rond*
t'mses the Crash.
WASHINGTON. March 17.—The ofi
ficials of the treasury are overrun with
work as the result of the passage of
the new financial bill which involves
the funding of old long term bonds
into new gold bonds bearing 2 per cent
interest. The applications for the ex
change of old bonds for the new up t0
the time of closing the department to
day, amounted to about $27,000,000 all
but $3,000.0000 coming from National
banks. The clerical force in the office
of the comptroller of the currency is
busy examining applications for au
thority to establish national banks
under the new law. Very many Gf
these come from small towns which
hitherto were debarred from National
bank privileges by the national hank
act. About 200 of these application.
have been received, and today favora
ble action was taken on a number of
them. A considerable number of state
banks have applied for authority to
convert themselves into national banks.
BRYAN NOT TO Bf PRESENT.
Assertion Made that He Will Stay Aw-,v
From Kant an City.
KANSAS CITY. Mo.. March 17 —
is asserted that YY. J. Bryan will not

in July. The hotels have been anx

gation, because it was thought Mr
Bryan would be with the other NV
braskans. The manager of one of the

The news from Sooth Africa today

gram from her husband in Mafeking

pected to join her shortly.
The actual relief movements have
